June 12, 2008

Russell Watson

Russell Watson, one of our favorite vocalists of all time is appearing at London Royal Festival Hall June 12th and on current UK tour.  We are so pleased he is touring and doing well.  He has a new book, “Finding My Voice” and lots of good things going on.  You can view and hear his OutsideIn CD here:  OutSideIn

His interview on Paul O’Grady is great.  He is so sweet, open and funny!  Check it out and if you get a chance to see him in concert, it is a MUST-SEE…he is fantastic.   We are hoping for a new DVD soon — please Russell!!!

Celtic Thunder 2008 – Fantastic Show

June 9, 2008

Celtic Thunder 

If you  love great voices and haven’t experienced Celtic Thunder, you are in for a treat.  Wow!  The mix of these five guys, both as ensemble and individually, is just a delight of sight and sound.  We are particularly enamored by the incredible voice of Damian McGinty (a youngster who will give our favorite, Josh Groban, a run for sure with his powerful voice and he is 12 years younger!).  They will be touring in the US and Canada this fall-winter and are a must-see concert.

Andrea Bocelli, David Foster “Because We Believe”

June 3, 2008

You have got to love these two together. “Because We Believe” (Ama Credi E Vai)  is a darling song, has a wonderful hook and speaks to everyone’s heart. With Bocelli’s voice and David as pianist, you are taken to another place…a wonderful nightcap and the fireworks are a bonus.
